The mental devil had just cruised around Double Dragons City on Neltharion and collected tremendous information. "All in all, the Red Fire Gang and the Black Water Gang are both greedy for each other's business. They have been thinking about swallowing each other and dominating Double Dragons City all the time. As a result, the other gangs are divided into two sides and at loggerheads with each other. Right now, they are both concerned about each other's strength and maintaining peace on the surface, but they are like dry powder barrels that could explode at any moment."
"Is the Village of Peace the spark?"
Li Yao pondered for a moment and asked, "Are they going to capture the warriors of the Village of Peace as cannon fodder because they are about to start a war? I don't think so. If it is just a battle in Double Dragons City, there does not seem to be a need to capture the people of the Village of Peace on a large scale. In that case, wouldn't all their plans have been discovered by the enemy? Something like a battle should be done stealthily in the first place. It should be done as fast as lightning and as quick as lightning! "
"Something is indeed wrong about the whole thing," the mental devil said. "When I investigated the city just now, I discovered that, although the atmosphere in Double Dragons City was solemn, it was not too intense. Neither the bandits of the Red Fire Gang nor the Black Water Gang seemed to be attacking each other."
Li Yao thought for a moment and asked, "Have you found the critical locations in the city?"
"Of course," the mental devil said smugly.
"The nests of the Black Water Gang and the Red Fire Gang, as well as the warehouses where their assets and ammunition are stored, have all been found. Also, I found something that is of utmost importance and indispensable!"
Li Yao's heart suddenly tightened. "What is it?"
"A ventilation tube," the mental devil said, one word after another.
"… Ventilation tube my ass," Li Yao said. "I am a legendary expert in the Divinity Transformation Stage right now. I am just dealing with a bunch of ignorant bandits in the Land of Sins. Do I need to crawl through a ventilation tube? Are you kidding me? "
"I thought that you had a special fetish," the mental devil said in embarrassment. "You don't feel comfortable if you don't crawl through a ventilation tube!"
"Let's cut to the chase. All in all, I vaguely feel that the Red Fire Gang and the Black Water Gang are not hostile to each other in the issue of the Village of Peace. Otherwise, it would've been too much of a coincidence for them to attack from the front and back last night."
Li Yao said. "Here comes the question. What kind of reason made the two gangs drop their grudge and attack the Village of Peace together? Logically speaking, these two bandit gangs controlled important sources of income and did not need to wantonly plunder the barren villages of the Desolate World!
"Looks like I have to think of a way to capture a few bandit leaders and ask them."
"Then, how do we know who the leader of the gang is?" the mental devil asked.
"Stupid!"
Li Yao said, "Look at the shuttles down below and the heavily-guarded iron fortresses. The most glamorous shuttles of the highest level, which are surrounded by dozens of bodyguards, must be the leaders of the gangs."
A vague ripple popped up in the void and disappeared in 0.1 seconds. Neltharion cut into the low altitude of Double Dragons City without a sound and patrolled among the streets and alleys.
Li Yao's telepathic thoughts spread out like vague smoke and searched for the luxury shuttles with the most bodyguards. Very soon, he locked onto the target.
However, the 'target' made him hesitate.
It was not that there were too few of them, but there were too many of them. Almost thirty luxury shuttles that had been installed with strengthened composite plate armor and rotating turrets were all parked in front of an iron fortress that looked like a pyramid at the center of Double Dragons City.
According to the information that the mental devil had gathered, the iron fortress was the most luxurious hotel in Double Dragons City. It was designed to entertain the honorable guests of the major forces in the Bloody Plateau Area. Naturally, the security was higher than ever.
The shuttles that were parked before the luxurious hotel were painted with the emblem of the Black Water Gang, the symbol of the Red Fire Gang, and the emblems and marks of almost ten major gangs in Double Dragons City. All of them were there.
"What's the meaning of this? Are the scumbags of so many gangs having a meeting inside?"
Li Yao was more and more curious. Steering Neltharion, he circled around the luxurious hotel several times, only to find no gap that he could sneak in through. His soul could not help but cough softly. "Cough, cough. Cough, cough, cough, cough."
The mental devil asked curiously, "Why do souls need to cough? Why don't I know anything about it?"
"No," Li Yao said. "Well, have you ever looked for the ventilation tubes of the luxurious hotel?"
"…" The mental devil.
"Or the sewers," Li Yao said.
"No," the mental devil said. "However, I seem to have found another luxury shuttle."
Li Yao and the mental devil locked onto a luxury shuttle in the south district of Double Dragons City almost at the same time. Neltharion blinked to the top of the vehicle's head in the blink of an eye.
The south district was where the black market was located.
Next to the traditional black market controlled by the Red Fire Gang was the 'human market' controlled by the Black Water Gang.
In the Land of Sins where resources were scarce, population, especially strong warriors and young and beautiful women, was one of the most important assets.
At this moment, the slaves that had been looted or purchased by the Black Water Gang were all caged in giant iron cages that were embedded with sharp thorns. The bloodstains on the thorns were telling their fate in silence.
The Black Water Gang was adept at the application of all kinds of drugs. Most of the slaves had been injected with tranquilizers and were crouching in the dry, yellow straws, lethargic and drowsy.
The few slaves that were to be displayed had been injected with tiny amounts of excitants. Their veins were bulging, and they were roaring in a low voice while they paced inside the cages like cheetahs and tigers.
Some of the bizarre-looking mutants were caged alone in tiny cages. Their hands and feet were locked in thick shackles. Dense runes had been carved on the shackles, which were releasing electric arcs and sparks now and then. It was obvious that they were the most dangerous species.
A lot of merchants were wearing brown or gray windbreakers. Some of them were even wearing gas masks. They were pointing at the slaves and making deals.
From the luxury shuttle that Li Yao and the mental devil discovered at the same time, a fatty who was about two meters tall but weighed at least two hundred kilograms walked out.
He was wearing a well-tailored linen robe, with delicate gold flowers embroidered on the sleeves. He was also wearing a silver filter mask on his face, making it impossible to see his face clearly. But there were quite a few glittering rings with gems on his hands that were as thick as carrots, indicating his shocking wealth.
Li Yao smiled. "A man wearing such a delicate robe and so many rings must be enjoying his life very much. He certainly wouldn't want to die for nothing."
"Also," the mental devil agreed, "he is a merchant from afar. He must be very well-informed. He may even know some news that even the tough bandits are unaware of."
Li Yao continued. "Right now, all the tough bandits in Double Dragons City are having a meeting. Nobody is paying any attention to the fatty. Let's hope that he is stupid enough to leave us an hour, no, half an hour alone."
The poor fatty in glamorous clothes had no idea that he had been targeted by two grim reapers.
He seemed to have come here specifically to purchase female slaves, and he was also a frequent visitor of Double Dragons City. The moment he got off the shuttle, he was escorted into a secret chamber by a few members of the Black Water Gang.
With Li Yao's Cultivation right now, the so-called 'secret chamber' was naturally not a secret at all.
He could clearly sense the fatty's breathing and heartbeat, and he could hear the fatty talking about the slave trade with the members of the Black Water Gang. There was no need for him to elaborate on the profanities during the conversation.
Twenty minutes later, Fatty returned to his luxurious flying shuttle. However, there was an extra "cargo" on the shuttle. It was a beautiful woman who was tied up and drugged. Her eyes were like silk, and she looked extremely charming.
The fatty chuckled eagerly under the filter mask and ordered the luxury shuttle to return to the hotel where he was staying. Perhaps because the major gangs of Double Dragons City were negotiating in the pyramid-shaped hotel, he was staying in a luxury hotel controlled by the Black Water Gang not far away from the slave market.
The floor was covered in thick, dense wool carpets. Glamorous crystal chandeliers were hanging from the ceiling. The most seductive erotic paintings were on the walls. Enchanting fragrance was floating in the air. If one did not see it with their own eyes, it would have been hard to imagine that there was such an extravagant place in the Land of Sins that was like a hell on earth.
After exchanging a few words with the bodyguards, the fatty slammed the door and threw the woman who was panting and wriggling like an octopus on his shoulder onto the water bed that was shivering like jelly.
The beauty of the plump woman's breasts was also shivering like jelly.
The fatty took off his mask, revealing a pale, pale face. His eyes the size of green beans were spurting out brilliance like flames as he mumbled to himself, "The new drug this time is truly strong. Even I can't take it anymore. Damn it!"
He lunged at the woman who had lost her rationality and self-awareness and only had primitive instincts left, but he did not feel the warmth and fullness that he expected. Instead, he felt that he had jumped onto an iron bed that was full of nails. He felt excruciating pain all over his body.
The fatty bulged his eyes, only to discover that the woman was still lying on the water bed, but her eyes were closed, and her breathing was steady. She had fallen into a deep sleep.
The fatty, on the other hand, had been frozen in midair by a certain weird force, unable to move at all!
He wanted to scream and alarm, but his throat seemed to have been filled with magma, burning a hole from the inside to the outside. He could not make any sound at all.
No, there was a sound. It was the sound of his carotid artery being cut and his blood spurting out crazily!
Fatty could only watch as his blood shot out like water arrows and gathered into a large round ball of blood in the air. Then, the ball of blood was completely burned away by a crimson flame, leaving not even the slightest trace of blood behind.
Such a weird and terrifying picture made him feel that his heart was breaking apart.
"I'm dead. I'm going to die!"
"Why? Who wants to kill me? Who is bold enough to kill me here? "
